Let\u2019s go back to September 1989. In Japan, Cocoon was commissioned to store all kinds of parts of a turbo generator. When an LNG tanker would request a part, it was crucial that it would be delivered quickly so that their delivery obligation could still be met.<\/p>\n
For 30 years the parts were stored outside in Moji (Japan), a place by the coast with heavy weather conditions, utilizing our unique mothballing system<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. And now thirty years later we received a phone call: a part was needed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/www.cocoon.eu\/files\/2018\/04\/Foto-Moji-2.jpg” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The LNG tankers, sailing chemical plants, transport gas which is below -162 \u00b0 C, so that it remains liquid. Spare parts must be readily available at all times due to their delivery obligations. <\/span><\/p>\n Ship propellers, propeller shafts, gears, transformers, turbo generators and different types of valves: all parts that may suddenly be needed when a defect arises. That problem could arise tomorrow, but also in 29 years or so.<\/span><\/p>\n And that was the case in Moji. After almost thirty years, the spare part was suddenly required and had to be removed from storage. After almost thirty years the Cocoon<\/a><\/strong> envelope was cut open so that the part could be lifted out. <\/span><\/p>\n Then it was sent to the producer for inspection. And what turned out: the part was stored in perfect condition in those 29 years and could be placed in the LNG tanker without maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/www.cocoon.eu\/files\/2018\/05\/IMG_1150.jpg” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Conserving, how do we do that?<\/b><\/p>\n We reduce the humidity levels to 38%. At this percentage the applied materials of the part remain intact. Steel, rubbers, wiring, plastic plates: all rustproof due to the low humidity. <\/span><\/p>\n The special feature of our drying system is that we also keep the ozone out of the air, in contrast to air conditioning. Air humidity does not drop below 55%, and this has negative consequences for, for example, rubber that can crack.<\/span><\/p>\nLNG ships: spare parts must be ready<\/b><\/h2>\n
